Julius Caesar was not assassinated with a sword. He was stabbed 23 times with daggers.

The Romans used the gladius, a short sword which was light, easy to handle and very useful for close man-to-man combat. They started using a long sword (the spatha) in the 1st millennium AD, several centuries after the death of Julius Caesar.

I do not know the answer but which Caesar are you talking about Julius Caesar or Augustus Caesar? Probably in Greece anyways. Julius Caesar was killed in the Forum in Rome. Stabbed to death by about 21 senators who didn't like him taking over the government. Julius Caesar was stabbed on the steps of the senate house. (Augustus Caesar was not killed - he died a natural death.)
